Can a incompatible cpu and mobo cause black screen?

Hey. Few weeks ago I build my first gaming pc. It happens that it doesn't work.

Pentium G4600 (G4560 was out of stock)
GTX 1050ti
Asrock H110m-hds

The pc itself boots up (gpu fans spin, cpu cooler fan spins, hdd makes noises, power led works, also when pressing power button my mouse-led flashes. And for some odd reason everytime I boot it up it shuts down once automatically after like 20s and then it stays on after it reboots. Monitors just say no signal or whatever

I've been trying to solve the problem with many guides. Recently I found out that I need to install a bios/uefi update to make my mobo support the pentium G4600. I'm planning to refund the pentium and buy an i3-6100 which is supported by the mobo with all bios versions.

Could it work after that? Or is the problem elsewhere? I need guidance.
 
You need the latest BIOS for any H110 board to work with your Kaby Lake pentium. The tricky part (catch 22, so to say) is that you need compatible cpu to flash BIOS, which is apparently not possible. You have 3 options:

1) get the board to a PC shop and ask them to flash the BIOS for you, for a small fee
2) buy the cheapest celeron compatible with that board, use it to flash bios, then sell it
3) get i3 6x series and sell your pentium

Take your pick...

Thank you for your help! Been gaming for a few days now even though my brother spilled water on my pc and other brother made it fall on it's side. And I found out that I need either Wi-Fi usb-adapter or wifi-card to access Wi-Fi.
